Mom

A poem by Galina Negruta

One beat, two beats, two hearts

You love me from the first moment

How do you feel what I feel

How much you understand the world in color.

You know how to rise from the dark abyss

You smile with your heart broken in half

You are an ageless ray of sunshine

You are spring in the hardest times.

You are the dawn, you are the dusk

You watch over me night and day

You are my idol, you are my gift

In the storm you stay by my side.

In the most fragile age I lose my calm

With friends I get lost in the time

You embrace my dreams, warm my chest

How unique are you Mom?

My tears are splinters in your heart

Wounds that time heals

Cold words, in silence you suffer.

How big is your love?

Your caress empowers me

It feeds me and protects me

Bitter tears, bear the pains

Courage flows, that you know you have.

Stand up again if you can

The years have decided for you

In your eyes I see a part of me

And the desire to live just for us.

Raise your head, put out this flame

You will never be alone in your goal

Raise your head, look up

Be proud, you are my Mom!
